If that’s not enough four further ski resorts nearby are waiting to be explored (Frauenalpe, Grebenzen, Lachtal, Turracher Höhe). Ski buses operate from Dec to March.
Hiking: The “Mur“ valley holiday region offers numerous scenic hiking tracks between 800m and 2700m for all levels of difficulty. Dramatic changes in the landscape between the eleven different hiking regions of the area make the hiking in Styria particularly exciting.
